In this paper, dynamic facility location and supply chain planning are studied through minimizing the costs of facility location, path selection and transportation of coal under demand uncertainty. The proposed model dynamically incorporates possible changes in transportation network, facility investment costs, operating cost and changes in facility location. In addition, the time variation and...

This study focuses on recovery options for end-of-life tires (ELTs). One of the most proper ELTs is incineration them in cement plants. There are 49 integrated factories which have Environmental Permit and License Certificate Turkey as final processing plant. Besides benefits recovering to environment, cost aspect process crucial. In this study, logistic network design waste sent from collectio...

According to the basic content of location advantage, from the market, transportation, competition environment and other factors, such as four aspects, analysis of location factors influencing express logistics node location. Put forward based on location factors evaluation and location advantages express logistics node location two-phase model of evaluation. An express logistics node location ...

In this paper, the centralized return centers location evaluation problem in a reverse logistics network is investigated. This problem is solved via an integrated analytic network processfuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution approach. Analytic network process allows us to evaluate criteria preferences while considering interdependence between them. On the other ha...

In today’s competitive world, the need to supply chain management (SCM) is more than ever. Since the purpose of logistic problems is minimizing the costs of organization to create favorable time and place for the products, SCM seek to create competitive advantage for their organizations and increase their productivity. This paper proposes a new multi-objective model for integrated forward / rev...
